These routers look very good, at least spec-wise. I have not used
them so far, but if they seem to be supported by OpenWRT quite well.

IMHO it is a good idea to prepare the firmware for the event some weeks
before it starts, but we can just get one or two of them before, I guess. :)

Great! It is also good to hear that you can re-use them. :)

Just one question, maybe more to the crowd: How many of these devices
will we need? We had a lot of Foneras in the past, but how many
of them did we use in the last years test? 5? 10? 20? 50? :)

Bastian, do you have a suggestion how many you would like to sponsor?

Thanks a lot!
